Episode notes
Start With Learner Goals And Agenda
- Do start intraoperative teaching by assessing learner needs, setting an agenda, and creating a positive OR learning atmosphere.
- Ask learners what they want to learn and what feedback they want so teaching is targeted and efficient.
Introduce Learners And Elicit Goals Early
- Do introduce everyone and elicit the learner's level and specific learning goals at the start of the day.
- Use the learner's stated goals to tailor complexity and avoid teaching above or below their level.
Use The Night Before To Pick And Prep Topics
- Do use the night-before phone call to identify a teaching topic and prepare materials or articles.
- That prep saves OR time and lets you assemble brief 10–15 minute teaching pieces tied to the day's cases.
